Hi. Here's some photos of the Italian razor branded Corona. It weighs in at 87 grams and has a nice red dot towards the bottom of the handle. It's a good looker IMHO.
I just got this so can't report on the shave yet. I did however see a video on Youtube where the razor was described as having two different sides of "aggressiveness". I'll try to report back to see if I am able to find the same.
The head is very similar to the Benz that I also have. They both have the same number of teeth/tongs. Perhaps the teeth on the Corona may be slightly wider. Due to the Benz not having an internal shaft, its lighter at 66 grams.
It's also similar to the razor I have branded as Metropolis. The Metropolis weighs in at 88 grams. It also has one more tooth than both the Corona and the Benz (14 compared to 13). The teeth on the Metropolis also appear to be slightly thinner (which makes sense) as well as longer, to my eye.
The fit and finish, the "feel", of the Corona strikes me as slightly superior to the others. Older perhaps?
I include a couple of photos of the Corona/Benz/Metropolis together for comparison sake.
